GARBAGE INCEXEEHATOR.

Application filed October 12, 1922. serial No. 5%,625.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MArHrAs ANTON KOHN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage Incinerators; and if do hereby declare that the following is a fuii. clear, and exact description thereof.

This invention relates to garbage incin erators and is particularly directed to an incinerator in which a burner is employed and is mounted below the charge of garbage, and. in general, this invention is an improvemcnt over my former invention, upon which secured a patent February 15, 1921, No.

1,368,809, disclosin a garbage incinerator.

V The present invention has the same general objects as those of my former invention.

In garbage burners as heretofore constructed, considerable difficult has been experienced in the clogging o u the burner and associated parts with the consequent difficulties thereby entailed. A further difficulty in properly consuming the charge in the former types of incinerators is due to the fact that the flames and heated products of combustion cannot penetrate the charge freely, but must burn the charge gradually from the outside inwardly. This, under the bestconditions, is a serious handicap to the efiiciency of the operation of the incinorator, and when it is considered that garbage is frequently moist and in n soggy condition, it becomes at once apparent that the process of incineration, under these con ditions, is extremely slow.

It is tOKOVBI'COIllQ these diir'icuities that the present invention is designed, and objects of this invention are to provide a, garbage incinerator which is so constructed that the flames and heated products of combustion are caused to pass freely through thecharge. thereby burning the charge both from the outside inwardly and frorn the inside out wardly, thereby hastening the incineration and providing a more efficient operation.

Further ob1ectsare to provide a. garbage incinerator, in which the burner is protected and guarded, thereby avoiding dogging of the burner, in which a flame distributor and conductor is provided, and s removahiv carried within the incinerator, and in which a removable grate is provided.

An embodiment of this invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which:-

Figure 1 is e verticai elevation of the incinerator, and

Figure 2. is a deteii of the npper support "for the ionic conveyor.

Referring more partieuiariy to the draw ing s it wili he seen that the incinerator corni'irises an outer sheii 1 carried upon a cioseti 2 and. provided with bottom door 3, a fine pipe 4 and a g; rbsge receiver 5, the garbage receiver being of the type adapted to autou'iaticeiiy close after the garbage has been passed through it.

With the sheil 1 a. pinraiity of inwordiy projecting rugs 6 orcmounted and supported a perforated colander 7 which is provided adjacent its lower portion with. an inwardly projecting flange or rib 8. A. hopper 9 is supported from the flange 8 and is of a. truncated conical shope having a restricted open bottom portion. A removable, reietiveiy coarse grate 1G is positioned Within the hopper i) and seats Within the hopper adjacent its lower portion. e. burner 11 is positioned directly beneath the lower portion of the hopper 3 and may he supplied from the gas main 1? through. a control veive 13. This burner is o tilting burner similar to that previously described in above noted potent and is adapted to tiit When the shaft 14 is rocked, srcteble weight 15 being provided for restoring the burner to its horizontai position. i

The flame distributor consists of on. up-- wardly tapering tuhuior member 1'5 havin a series of apertures i? along its extent and having a closed upper portion 18 and an open bottom portion if). This flame distributor may con'venieotiy he formed of two half sections secured by suitahle screws or bolts. as indicated at 20. This lower portion is provided with a plurality of outward- 1y extending feet Wl'i' 1 seat upon portions of the grate 16 to support and steady the lower portion of such distributor. The upper portion of said distributor is provided with a perforated which is adapted to he loosciy positioned upon hook 23 carried by the top 2 1 of the incinerator.

it to he 'iarticuiariy noted that the incinerator is so organized that the domes and heated products of combustion pass freely through the grate and. into the eherge and both upwardly from the charge and out-- wardly into the space between the colander and the shell, thereby providing for the rapid destruction of the charge.

I claim 1. A garbage incinerator comprising an outer casing, a perforated colander mounted therein and spaced from such casing, a

i tapered hopper carried by said colander, a

grate removably carried by said tapered hopper, a burner mounted below said grate, a

tubular flame distributor seated upon said grate and extendingupwardly therefrom and'having'a plurality of apertures through its Walls, and means for engaging and steadying the upper portion of said distributor.

2. A garbage incinerator comprising an outer casing provided with a top, a perfo- In this man- Lace mo rated colander mounted therein and spaced from such casing, a tapered hopper carried by said colander, a grate positioned adjacent the lower end of said hopper, a burner mounted below said grate, a tubular apertured flame-distributor extending upwardly from adjacent said grate, and interlocking means carried by said top and the upper end of said flame -distrihutor.

3. A garbage incinerator comprising an outer-casing. a perforated colander mounted therein and spaced from such casing, a tapered hopper carried by said colander, a grate mounted below said tapered hopper, a burner mountedhelow said grate, a tubular apertured flame-distributor seated upon said grate and extending upwardly therefrom and terminating in an apcrtured ear. and

a hook carried by the upper end of such casing and detachably engaging said apertured ear.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin,
